I checked dxdiag, and it says my DirectX version is 11. My WEI says DirectX 10. But I read this is a bug in the WEI report. I'm relieved that I'm actually running DX11, but wondering what I actually did do by installing "DirectX End-User Runtimes" installer a few months ago.

On the web installer page it says "provides updates to 9.0c and previous versions of DirectX", so I'm kinda confused if this even updated DX11 or not...

- Does the DirectX End-User Runtimes installer update DirectX 11 too?
- If not, how should I update DirectX 11 from now on?
- Under Display, DDI says 10.1, so this means it knows I'm running a DX10 device, correct?

If you install a DX10 supporting game, it'll install DX10 for you, that's a guarantee, I have a HD 3870, they do support DX10, so you will have it installed with a DX10 game, if you can't find it on the site.

If you want to check, press start, and in the search bar, type "dxdiag" and press enter, you may get something come up about signed drivers, press no, or yes, it's up to you, not exactly important, and it should tell you what DX version you have at the bottom of the page.

All windows 7 machines will say dx 11 but that does not mean to say his system will support it. Being a 3850 it will only support up to 10.1. It is the gpu which dictates if you will get dx 11 on windows 7 or not.
